Why brahmins bow

 

Brahmins bow down before Leaders

And senior officers in offices of power

Of Dalits Minorities Other Backwards

To browbeat junior workers officials

Most of our leaders and senior officers

Are totally incapable unable to question

Their brahmin juniors and subordinates

They have no face to pull any brahmins

Having enjoyed many petty hospitalities

Taken small little obligations from them

Official unofficial private unauthorised

Some secretly and surreptiously behind

Others even openly known to everyone

 

                                                         a  Dalit poet
